Mixed micelles with "green" surfactants
This proposal aims to explore aqueous phase structures and compositions of a series of mixed surfactants. Although standard surfactant mixtures have been extensively studied... -
Mixed surfactants for dialable organogels
The idea is to be able to ¿dial-up¿ the length and properties of CO2-philic and organo-philic rod-like micelles. This proposal aims to explore mixed surfactant systems in... -
A new approach to viscosity enhancement of oils and CO2
Due to the naturally low viscosity of liquid CO2 (0.1-1.0 cP pressure/temperature dependent) the CO2 is prone to ¿fingering¿, limiting the efficiency of CO2-EOR [1]. In order to...
